The Norwegian Getaway receives generally positive reviews for its service, food, entertainment, and ship quality, with many guests praising the friendly staff and variety of dining options. However, some guests report issues with overcrowding, disorganization during embarkation/disembarkation, and feeling 'nickel and dimed' by extra charges. Cabins are often described as clean but sometimes cramped, and specialty restaurants and excursions receive mixed feedback. The ship is recommended for families and those who enjoy a lively atmosphere, but some experienced cruisers prefer smaller ships or other cruise lines for a more relaxed or premium experience.
